Chapter 144: Continental Drift
After this amphibian disappeared, Li Kai didn't care about it anymore, Li Kai couldn't help it in the water, but if it dared to go ashore, without Li Kai's move, the black sword tiger alone could easily play to death.
And judging from the part it revealed, Li Kai speculated that this guy should be a kind of primitive salamander, but it is really rare to have such a large body.
The unknown amphibians left, the newts were also scared away, the swamp calmed down for a while, Li Kai seized the time to collect the water source that had infiltrated the big pit, and then motioned to the black sword tiger to eat the few killed newts.
In this period, early mammals are far from appearing, even the earliest mammal-like reptiles only appeared in the Permian, the Carboniferous land almost only amphibians, reptiles and arthropods, the three major groups of animals, reptiles are currently small, at the low end of the food chain, and the giant insects look too disgusting, so in addition to these amphibian newts in front of him, Li Kai really doesn't know what to let the black sword tiger feed.
"Roar~!"
Under Li Kai's repeated urging, the Black Sword Tiger walked over very reluctantly, eating the dead newt, and easily tore off a large piece of bloody flesh with his sharp teeth, and swallowed it.
"Whew, finally got water. ”
After the kettle was heated, Li Kai finally poured the barely drinkable water into his mouth, and the warm stream of water moistened his chapped lips, making him feel incomparably sweet and delicious.
Soon he drank a pot of water to the bottom, and felt refreshed, as if he was alive again.
After drinking the water, Li Kai naturally had to store another pot to keep, and he was also hungry, so he found a fire starter nearby to light a bonfire, cut off a large piece of newt meat that was enough for him to eat two meals and roasted it on the fire, not too much, because the remaining newt was probably only enough for the Black Sword Tiger to eat a full meal.
Guarding such a big stomach, what can Li Kai do.
"The meat of the newt is very hard and woody, so it is not delicious, but it may be the reason why it is not suitable for grilling, and I think it may be better if the meat is stewed. While eating the newt meat, Li Kai was talking to the audience, making a summary, and what he said was the Tao, obviously he had already eaten the experience.
Many viewers who have studied eating also joined in the discussion, discussing how to make the 290 million-year-old newt delicious, braised or steamed, or stewed? The lively atmosphere made others cry and laugh.
Sure enough, it was an off-line anchor with a group of unreliable viewers.
......
Human immunity and resistance are not on the same level as beasts, Li Kai needs to infiltrate and filter the water from the swamp, and then heat it to barely drink, but the black sword tiger doesn't have to be so troublesome, I saw the black sword tiger who had eaten the two newts walking over slowly, poking his thick tongue into the puddle, and soon drank the puddle that penetrated into the pit.
After eating and drinking, Li Kai no longer stayed near the swamp for a long time, after all, no one knew what kind of danger was hidden under the water, so he set off again with the Black Sword Tiger, preparing to find a new shelter location.
And along the way, Li Kai also made a lot of discoveries, the diversity of Carboniferous species beyond everyone's expectations, not only basin-sized meso-protruding spiders, but also palm-sized cockroaches, elbow-length beetles and many giant insects that can't be named at all, which is simply dizzying and eye-opening.
And the ferocity of the giant insect is surprising, and Li Kai and the Black Sword Tiger have been attacked by the giant insect many times along the way.
Although the reappearance of a giant insect not as terrifying as the long-legged spider monster did not pose much of a threat to Li Kai, it was also a very troublesome thing.
"Xiao Kai, as long as you dare to eat the prehistoric big insect raw this time, I will reward as much as you want!"
"That's right, count me in, the anchor will give as much as he says, and it's absolutely okay to say as much as you want"
"Laugh at the two upstairs pretending to be X"
"I don't know if it's a real tyrant or a real retard, the poor are silently watching"
"Master Pei: Even if it's a god, I'll eat it for you!"
"Haha, Xiao Kai said that the insects ate him almost the same"
Someone coaxed, the audience complained and ridiculed, the barrage was so lively, Li Kai rolled his eyes, and directly ignored the two funny guys, he really didn't have the courage to eat the giant worm raw.
At this time, seeing that everyone seemed to be in high spirits, Li Kai thought about it, and threw out the reasons for the scientific research community's truth about the extinction of Carboniferous organisms, explained it to everyone, and asked everyone what they thought about the truth of the extinction of Carboniferous organisms and what their views were.
Finding out the truth about the extinction of Carboniferous organisms is the most troublesome task in Li Kai's eyes, and it is the key task of this live broadcast.
Li Kai must be careful, but it is really difficult for him to find out the truth alone, so he hit the audience with his idea, there are tens of millions of viewers in his live broadcast room, tens of millions of people at the same time to help him think, there are so many masters, he can't believe that he can't find the real reason for the extinction of Carboniferous creatures.
"Brother Xiaokai, it's a little wrong, you just said that the scientific research community speculated that a fire burned more than half of the land, resulting in mass extinction, this is impossible, there are oceans between continents, how can they all be burned by a fire!?"
"The question asked by this friend is really the key. Li Kai nodded when he saw it, and then threw out another question, "I don't know if you have heard of continental drift?"
However, without waiting for the audience to answer, he continued: "I believe that many friends have heard the term continental drift, so I won't sell it." The theory of continental drift was proposed by the German meteorologist and geophysicist Alfred Wegener in 1912. ”
"According to geologists' speculation, 300 million years ago, the earth's land may have been a whole, known as Panpalaea, or Pangea, which was composed of Gondwana including South America, Africa, Australia, Antarctica and the Indian Peninsula and the Laoa continent including North America, Greenland and Eurasia. ”
Speaking of this, Li Kai paused: "This hypothesis is not unfounded, in 1885 an Austrian geologist had noticed that the rock layers on the continents of the southern hemisphere were very consistent, so he deduced that they may have been broken down by a patchwork of primitive continents, and the same paleontobiota and the ubiquitous moraine layers on each land are also extremely favorable evidence." ”
So if the hypothesis of continental drift is true, it is possible that the world will be destroyed by fire, but this hypothesis has not been proven so far, and no one can give a definite conclusion. And although I am in this period, unless I fly into space, I can't know if the land in this period is a whole, the earth... It's too big!"10
